Aaron Juan, the owner of Maya Walk Tours in San Ignacio, Cayo was arrested and charged yesterday with carnal knowledge. However this is not the first time Juan has been arraigned for an act of this nature.

In 2005, it was alleged that Aaron Juan, raped two British female minors, ages 15 and 16 at the time, at a lodge in Goreville, just outside San Ignacio while in Belize on a School trip.

However, after Belize Police conducted their investigation, many questions were raised as to the truthfulness of the girls’ story.

The two minors had alleged that Juan had plied them with rum and then had entered their cabin room uninvited.

However, the question arose: how did he rape two of them at the same time while both of them failed to alert their supervisors who allegedly slept an estimated 50 ft away?

In 2006, after being on the run for some time, Juan turned himself in.

According to his version of the story, the girls were aggressive and demanded he sleep with them; it was consensual. 8 years have passed since then.

But yesterday, Juan was arrested and charged again for 2 counts of carnal knowledge in San Ignacio after being on the run since January. Inspector Raymundo Reyes, acting Officer in Command of San Ignacio Police Station told us more.
